    Why do I think the death threats are coming from MEGA supporters? How do they think threatening DrFauci will change the facts of this deadly virus. The new rules won’t affect our behavior much since we were already only going to necessary places. The only difference is I’ll try to stretch out the time between grocery trips.

    I'm making a noble effort to shop online. It's neither easy nor cheap.

    I’ve done church online 2 weeks. I could see the priest and the host just fine. We participated by singing the hymns and saying the prayers. I question why anyone who put attending a service in person while putting themselves and family at risk.

    Keep the funny memes coming. We need all the funny distractions we can get. I was watching Stephen Colbert interview Ryan Reynolds. Ryan and Blake own a gin company so Stephen was drinking a martini made with their gin. Ryan joked Stephen was drinking a quarantini.

    These memes are great!! I wdoke up at 4:45 so I just got up, had coffee and watched TV but am now having my instant oatmeal.

    My lawn person called and said that he would do my lawn after Easter. He also asked the Sheriff if it was ok...and he got the "keep the 6ft distance." I went and put in envelopes the money for each mowing. When he comes, I'll just put an envelope with the money on the deck for him.

    I texted my lawn person on the Cape. I told him to start the spring raking and law cutting whenever he thinks the time is right. He’ll text me his bills and I’ll mail him a check. He texted me back to say that’s what he’ll do. I told him we don’t know when we’ll be back. We feel safer here than traveling back home. We’d normally be here another month anyway. We can stay as long as we need to. I spoke to a friend at home and she confirmed the situation at stores isn’t good. There are many shortages. She does a house watch for us when we’re away. I told her to check my cabinets and help herself to anything she can use. I probably have at least a few rolls of tp in the bathroom closet which she can take.

    My lawn person is closer than 6 feet. LOL!

    I have the Get Fuzzy daily calendar. Fuzzy (the cat) is so much smarter than poor Satchell (the dog). Satchell says "Even a broken clock is right twice a day" and Fuzzy replies "Not your cheap digital ones. You just....go....DIM."

    That's good that you can stay put if you need to!!

    Helene - I just got an email from someone who's been on the periphery of CROM for years. She emailed me to tell me she's in Florida. Her name is Helene! Just strange coincidence.

    I just read a Washington Post piece about mile long lines of cars at food pantries. Time to stop fretting over whether I can get all the different foods I'm used to having. As much as he frets, DH actually said the other day "we're lucky". Shocked the heck out of me. LOL!

    My husband is super impressed by Home Depot's response: https://view.homedepotemail.com/?qs=719de2d845f8526b7c3d0542d5bc068321748d1b95a878c7267697932d036505ef0797bd721227cc3ca7f05f389555dda918425dae8d9f4df4789fcf4a6ad3eba2f84b6c812d4e23fa821bb1567aa28bb6190e543b2251a2

    As I told him, some companies are going to step up to the plate (mine) and some are not (his).

    There are a ton of people on etsy selling masks. I ordered two just in case I should decide to brave a grocery store at some point. Just to feed the colonies, I see no point. All my doctors are unilaterally cancelling appointments.

    Jared Kushner is an idiot:

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jared-kushner-stockpile_n_5e86dca8c5b6a949183425ca

    New York Times:

    Putting Jared Kushner In Charge Is Utter Madness

    Kushner has succeeded at exactly three things in his life. He was born to the right parents, married well and learned how to influence his father-in-law. Most of his other endeavors — his biggest real estate deal, his foray into newspaper ownership, his attempt to broker a peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians — have been failures.

    I think he meant to say the stockpile is for the tRump family to use, if needed, not the citizens of the USA. What a worthless piece of s**t.

    In our area, one of our county judges who is in charge of the county’s response to the virus had to specifically call out Hobby Lobby yesterday for remaining open despite orders for only essential businesses to remain open. I’ve not been a fan of that chain. For a long time due to their policy of limiting their employees’ options for family planning due to the owners’ religious ideology, I have actively boycotted their stores. Now, more than ever, I plan to never buy from them.

    Good one! Yes, that's what he is!

    We don't have any Hobby Lobby stores but I'd boycott them if I could
